WHERE EVERYONE IS VALUED AND RESPECTED
TOGETHER, WE CAN ACHIEVE MORE.
RESOLVING ISSUES AND REDUCING CONFLICT.
Community Restorative Justice Ireland Newry/Armagh was founded in 1999 to promote a non-violent, non-confrontational approach to crime and anti-community behaviour. The key principles that our organisation was founded on — respect, fairness, accountability, and inclusion — are still at the core of the work we do today. Starting as a small, grassroots, community-led group, we have now expanded to deliver our mediation and conflict resolution services across Newry, South Armagh, and their border hinterlands.
This involves active engagement by community members as mediators and facilitators in dispute resolution. We also work in partnership with multiple statutory, community, and voluntary agencies: Housing Executive, Social Services, DHSS, PCSP, PSNI, PBNI, community associations, youth groups, women's groups, and festival organisations. We endeavor to empower communities to improve their quality of life and utilise non-violent solutions to reduce the incidents of socially harmful activity.

WHAT IS RESTORATIVE JUSTICE?
Restorative justice is a people-centered approach to resolving conflict and harm. Instead of focusing solely on punishment, it brings together those affected by an issue including victims, those responsible, and the wider community- to find a meaningful way forward.
At its core, restorative justice:
Focuses on repairing harm rather than just assigning blame
Gives everyone a voice, especially those impacted by harm or conflict
Encourages accountability and understanding
Strengthens communities by building trust and relationships

CRJI:
Resolving & Reducing Conflict
We are a community-based restorative justice organisation providing various services to resolve and reduce conflict.
We adhere to restorative justice standards that promote bringing those impacted by harm together to discuss and develop solutions to their problems.
Through facilitated dialogue and inclusive processes, all parties affected by the conflict engage in constructive communication, fostering understanding and empathy.
Together, they work towards agreements that address the harm, restore relationships, and promote accountability.
With follow-up support and ongoing communication, CRJI aim to reduce conflict by cultivating respect and collaboration within communities and organisations
